Re: not handling media link changes for wired ethernet

[Casey Harkins <caseyharkins gmail com>]

I was already running hal-0.4.7-1.FC3. I just performed an update again 
which had an updated kernel, but I'm still seeing the same behavior.

From your suggestion I inferred that NetworkManager receives the media 
link status via hal/dbus. I just tried a "dbus-monitor --system" and 
connected then disconnected the cable.
There are messages crossing dbus, though I haven't had time to figure 
out if the parameters are correct. Hopefully I can take a look tonight.

Here's the dbus-monitor output, in case someone can spot anything 
troublesome.

[after connecting the cable]
signal interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device; member=PropertyModified; 
sender=:1.1
int32:2
string:net.80203.rate
boolean:false
boolean:true
string:net.80203.link
boolean:false
boolean:false

[after removing the cable]
signal interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device; member=PropertyModified; 
sender=:1.1
int32:2
string:net.80203.rate
boolean:true
boolean:false
string:net.80203.link
boolean:false
boolean:false
